From trolley collector at IKEA to HR management at Telia - HR Manager - Telia - Christoffer Hovde
From collecting and pushing trolleys at what today is the world's largest furniture retailer, IKEA, at the age of 16, to working with finding, recruiting and administering employees as a Human Resource manager at one of the largest mobile phone operators in Norway, Telia, many would undoubtedly say that this weeks guest, Christoffer Hovde, has struggled his way from the bottom to the top.
Christoffer is also today a prominent advisor and public speaker, who gives many speeches, especially on the topics of leadership, innovation, and communication.
To make sure he's always on top of the question, what it really means to be a leader, Christoffer interviewed some 15 Norwegian top-leaders as a part of his Master's thesis, asking them what they thought about the future of leadership.
In this interview with Christoffer, we'll be talking about his journey starting at Ikea, and how he ended up working as a Human Resource manager at the telephone company Telia.
We'll also be talking about his life decisions and sacrifices that has changed and formed Christoffer into the person he is today.
As well as being active in his local communities, Christoffer also works to mentor those in desire for professional guidance and help, which you will hear more about in the interview.
We would also like to inform you that this interview is actually a part of a video interview which will be released later, either this, or next, month, so stay tuned for that, but also keep in mind that that's why the audio might seem a bit unusual compared to the other episodes on the podcast.
